Security at Sea

Naval Forces and Arms Control

Edited by Richard Fieldhouse

Description

Since World War II, five navies are known to have acquired nuclear weapons; the activities of these forces continue to play a critical and often dangerous role in global strategic affairs. Offering the first serious appraisal of naval arms and their control in forty years, an international panel of experts here presents a broad and detailed assessment of the dangers of the naval arms race, and discusses problems with naval arms control, confidence-building measures, and verification technologies.

Reviews and Awards

"By far the best book to date on the subject....Perhaps the most useful part of the book are the Annexes containing both offical Soviet and American views of naval arms control including the U.S. positions on its Neither Confirm Nor Deny (NCND) and Nuclear Weapon Free Zones (NWFZ) policies....A 'must' for anyone interested in the subject."--Strategic Review
